Citizens are invited to attend an “Open House” to learn about the proposed text and map amendments (rezonings) to the Davidson Planning Ordinance based on the recommendations from the Rural Area Plan in the Davidson Town Hall (216 South Main Street) board room on Thursday, January 5 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The Davidson Board of Commissioners approved the Rural Area Plan in September after an 11-month public process and the next steps are to amend the Davidson Planning Ordinance and planning areas map to officially rezone the planning areas and implement the plan.

The Davidson Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing at their January 10 meeting (at 6:00 p.m.), and the planning board will review the Rural Area Plan at the end of January to provide a recommendation to the Davidson Board of Commissioners. The planning department will present the Rural Area Plan ordinance and map updates to the Davidson Board of Commissioners for approval at the February 14 meeting.

“We encourage all Davidson citizens to attend this Open House, regardless of land ownership in the rural area, to learn more about the recommendations from the Rural Area Plan and its effect on that part of our jurisdiction,” said Planning Director Jason Burdette.
